Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (formerly Lactobacillus plantarum) is a well-characterized lactic acid bacterium found across fermented foods, the human gut, and diverse environmental niches.

Lactobacillus casei (species-level entry, undesignated strain) is a broadly studied lactic acid bacterium encountered across fermented dairy and non-dairy foods.

Akkermansia muciniphila is a gut bacterium that naturally inhabits the mucus layer lining the intestine and has attracted substantial scientific interest as a potential next-generation probiotic.

Bifidobacterium longum is a well-characterized commensal species found throughout the human gut, with a particularly studied role in early-life microbiome establishment.

Lactobacillus helveticus is a lactic acid bacterium widely used in dairy fermentation and probiotic applications.

Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus, most widely studied as the GG strain, has an extensive research record, though the evidence base in this index is predominantly in vitro and animal-model work.

Lacticaseibacillus casei (species-level entry, no specific strain designation) is a broad species grouping that includes well-studied commercial strains such as L.

Lacticaseibacillus paracasei (the species, without a designated strain identifier) is a broadly distributed lactic acid bacterium found in fermented foods and the human gut.

Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) is one of the most extensively studied probiotic strains globally, though the papers linked to this strain entry focus primarily on encapsulation technology and formulation stability…

Lactobacillus brevis is a heterofermentative lactic acid bacterium widely distributed in fermented food environments.

Faecalibacterium prausnitzii is a butyrate-producing commensal bacterium that is among the most abundant in a healthy human gut and has attracted significant research interest as a potential next-generation probiotic.

Bifidobacterium breve is a species commonly found in the human gut, particularly in breastfed infants, where it plays a role in fermenting complex carbohydrates including human milk oligosaccharides.

Bifidobacterium animalis BB-12 is one of the most extensively studied Bifidobacterium strains, with a research record spanning food science, gut physiology, and clinical settings.

Lactobacillus casei Shirota is one of the most extensively studied probiotic strains, with a research history spanning several decades.

Bacillus subtilis is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium widely distributed in soil and food environments, including fermented products.

Bacteroides uniformis is a common anaerobic bacterium of the human gut microbiome, and a specific strain (CECT 7771) has attracted research interest for its metabolic effects in animal models.

Bacillus coagulans is a spore-forming bacterium studied as a probiotic candidate, in part because its spores exhibit heat and acid stability, a property studied in relation to survival through food processing and gastric…

Eubacterium rectale is a gram-positive, obligate anaerobe and prominent butyrate-producing member of the human gut microbiota, where it is typically one of the more abundant bacterial species.

Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-5 is a commercially used probiotic strain studied primarily for its survivability in fermented food matrices such as yogurt, cheese, and whey-based beverages.

Lactobacillus johnsonii is a facultative anaerobic lactic acid bacterium originally isolated from the human vaginal microbiota.

Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron is a dominant member of the healthy human gut microbiome and one of the most extensively studied gut commensal bacteria.

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is a spore-forming soil bacterium known primarily for its enzyme-producing capabilities and agricultural biocontrol applications — including suppression of plant pathogens and promotion of plan…
